[v6,08/16] fs: Split off inode_needs_update_time and __file_update_time

Commit Message

Stefan Roesch May 26, 2022, 5:38 p.m. UTC

This splits off the functions inode_needs_update_time() and
__file_update_time() from the function file_update_time().

This is required to support async buffered writes.
No intended functional changes in this patch.

This patch itself looks fine, but I think with how the next patch goes
we don't even need it anymore, do we?

We still need the patch:
- I don't want to set the pending time flag in all calls to update_time
  (for "fs: Optimization for concurrent file time updates")
  I only want to set the flag in the file_modified case and if the time needs
  to be updated.
  Also setting and clearing the flag in pending time flag in the same procedure
  makes it easier to understand.
